Boy our camera has gotten better over the years.
I know, right?
OMG! You should write a book about it! lol
A book, eh? Maybe…
That’s so neat to see!
Cool, right? Seeing them all next to each other is very neat.
I love those photos, so cute!
Thanks, Ana! I was curious to know what your artful eye thought of the new site. Like?
Ok, so I think this may just be one of my favorite writings you’ve done… it’s the simplicity of the words that allows us to experience alongside you (in our own imaginations) the fullness of life with your kiddos… and for the record, that picture of Kaitlynn and Tyler, magic my friend! Magic!
Laura, my writer friend in the U.S. (also best friend since high school) had this to say about poetry:
How to Write a Poem in 2 (or 3) Easy Steps
1. Begin with an emotion based on a personal experience (joy, fear, loneliness, wonder, curiosity, etc.).
2. Transfer that emotion into words that are pleasing to read and not predictable or cliché.
3. (optional) Give your poem perfect meter and rhyme while still following step 2.
The goal is for the reader to experience that emotion with you through your writing. If you can do that, you will attain some success as a poet.

I am learning from her that oftentimes less is more when wanting to capture the imagination of the readers. Choosing not just a good word but the right word makes a big difference. Thanks for noticing my efforts.
what a neat post! very special. im curious what the kids think of it.
so cool angie.
Shawn, they love seeing pictures of themselves from “way back when”. I will have to read them the post to see what they think about it. I am glad you liked it!
I had no idea that Tyler looks SO MUCH like Gabrielle when she was smaller!! Too cute! loved this post! I think doing this for a 3rd time makes you a definite Super Mom!
Well, I don’t know about all that; I do know we serve a Super God.
Angie, you’re a poet! Great job. I love those 3 and 2 pictures. Precious!
Becky, that means so much coming from you. Thanks!
